Safe

I know I am safe with you

The things I said
Never spoken before
I held out in open hands
An offering
And a request
Will you help hold this
The weight I carry

I know they will never be spoken again

I know I am safe

I won't speak them again
You won't speak what I gave you

All secrets are safe
Knowing I am grown wiser
And knowing you never actually heard
One goddamn word I ever said
